Written for you
You tell us about the business in your own words — a voice note's worth is enough. We turn it into clear headlines, services and prices customers understand.
About Build with Ivy
We build the websites busy owners never have time to.
Build with Ivy is a done-for-you website service for small businesses in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. You send a short brief; we design the pages, write the words and send a private preview to your WhatsApp — before you pay anything.

Why we exist
Good businesses were invisible online.
Across East Africa, great businesses run on word of mouth, WhatsApp and Instagram. When a new customer searches for them, there is often nothing to find — or a page that does the business no justice.
The usual options didn't fit. A custom developer can be slow and costly. A do-it-yourself builder hands you a blank template and an evening of decisions you never wanted to make.
So we made the simplest version we could: tell us about the business, see a real website within the hour, and only pay to keep it if you love it. We handle the design, the writing, the hosting and the changes after launch.
How we work
Four promises behind every website.
Built for phones first
Most of your customers will find you on a phone. Every page is designed for that screen first, with WhatsApp and call buttons where a thumb expects them.
Checked by a person
Ivy drafts the first version quickly. Then a person reviews the facts, the prices and the photos before you see it — and talks it through with you on WhatsApp.
Honest pricing
The first preview is free. If you like it, keeping it online costs KSh 899 a month — hosting, changes and support included. No surprises.
Who we build for
Businesses people already know and trust.
Salons, kitchens, shops, clinics, tutors and independent professionals — the businesses that keep a neighbourhood running.
